With 117 million Danish kroner, the largest collaboration to date between private companies and the public sector will be launched with the aim of getting an overview of the massive amounts of data and how to make better use of them.

The partnership will focus on a number of important cases to be solved in collaboration with IT consultancy firms. Some results will be relatively easy to achieve in the short term. However, some big data topics are more complex and require more research. For example, we need to develop algorithms for fast processing of massive data streams.
